The French Stage Managers Signal.

AT the Comedie Francaise you never
hear any ringing of bells in the lobbies;
even the curtain cannot be said to be
rung up. Continuing an antique usage
which dates from the time of Molerr,
and which was borrowed, doubtless,
from the custom of the halberdiers and
ushers, who struck the floor with their
staffs as they preceded and announced
the king or any grand dignitary, the
regisseur of the Coincide Franchise
announces the beginning of the play,
and gives the signal for the curtain 10
rise, by striking the stage with a staff.
tie stands at one side of the stage and
strikes gravely and heavily, paasing
about second between each stroke;
then he hurries away. and the curtain
rises majestically and discloses the
scene and actors.- Harper's Maga,

A Strange Craze.

Many people are strangely affected
by the light air and 6,000 feet altitude
OF Cheyenne, IN Wyoming. They
generally imagine they are going to be
killed, and have to be carefully watch
ed. Women are the most liable TO be
affected, aud they feel the effects of the
rare6ed atmosphere in the cars before
reaching the town. Among other in
cidents of this nature a policeman re-
lstes the following: "a little fellow
from Nevada began to show the effect
of the altitude as the train neared
Cheyenne. BY the time he had reached
there he had barricsded himself in the
retiring room and was about to throw
himself out of the window when the
trainmen forced their way in and
caught him. He was sure somebody
was going to kill him. / got him away
from the crowd aud told him I'd pro
tect him, and finally got him quieted
down. The trainmen looked after him
until they began to descend from Sher-
man, and thereafter he seemed 10 be

PREHISTORIC AFRICA.
Remarkable Ruins Among the
Beehive Huts.

The readers of Mr.. Haggard's new
story, "She." will remember that when
his little party OF adventures passed in
their boat from the sea into an East Afri-
can river, they found on the bank wall
of stone that had evidently been q
solidly constructed wharf in some remote
period. In q footnote he justifies this
conceit by alludipg to the ruins OF very
ancient city on the coast OF Kilwa, south
OF Zanzibar. In happens that 800 miles
nearer the region in which he has placed
his story there are evidences OF past
civilization that are incomparably great.
er than those he mentions.
Some way south of the Zambesi river
there is large region extending from
the sea nearly 400 miles inland, and 800
to 400 miles toward the south, in which
ruins are constantly being discovered,
proving that in prehistoric times the
country was inhabited by civilized peo.
Pile. To-day only tine rudest black
tribes inhabit the land, save in q few
places v here the Portuguese have estab.
lished stations. The little beehive huts
Of the natives are seen among massive
ruins, betoksning degree of architec-
tural skill which rivals that OF the
ancient Aztecs. Our knowledge OF
these ruins is still far from perfect. Our
earliest records of travel and trade on
the East Africa coast, extending back
to the beginning of the Christian era, do
not mention them. Only of recent years
have the travels of Serons, Erskine.
Mauch, Bains, Mohr and ONeill re-
vealed to us the monumental evidence
this country contains.
The coast town Sofala is shown on all
maps of East Africa. Near that town
Carl Mauch found extensive ruins, re.
markable for their enduring nature and
strange shapes. There are partly ruined
walls still thirty feet high and twelve
feet high at the base. built of small
hewn blocks of granite. In these walls,
sometimes fifteen 10 twenty feet from
the ground, are embedded one end OF
blocks of stsne eighteen to twenty feet
long, which were evidently used to sup.
port galleries. Here and there, built
in the walls or standing by themselves,
are round stone towers, which evident.
ly rose to height of thirty to fifty feet.
Similar masses Of masonry are found
as far as $50 miles inland and little
north near the coast.
It is not positively known yet who
built these ancient structures. Nc
trained arch@ologist has visited them,
and no search has yet been made for in.

1890.
what the Next Census May be
Expected to Disclose.

Expected TO D1SCLOSes
In o general way Americans under.
stand that their country is making mar
velous progress inpopulation aud wealth.
But they will never quite realize the
forcs OF the facts until the census of
1890 is taken. It will then be found
that in no previous decade has there
been any such progress as between 1880
and 1890. The three sections of the
country which will show the most
remarkable developments are the South.
the West and the Pacific Coast. AS to
the Southern States, the change there is
not so much in the additions to the pop
ulation as to its material development;
| in other words, the enhancement OF its
wealth, present and prospective. In
the olden times cotton raising was the
main source of income. 1t now repre-
sents only one third of the money-pro.
ducing industries of that section. The
benificent change has been brought
about by manufacturing enterprises and
the consec uent diversitication of employ
ments. Instead of employing themselves
| in raising cotton alone, and getting their
tools, clothing and even their food from
the North, they now manufacture for
themselves, and raise their own corn
and pork. 1t is the products Of coal
and iron which have enriched the mod.
ern nations, and it is the working Of
these two minerals which is changing
the whole face of Southern society.
What may be termed the middle zone Of
of the South, extending from Norfolk
due west to Northern Mississippi, with
a width of say four hundred miles, will
be found q region in which is some OF
the finest coal and iron in the world.
The mines are being worked for all they
are worth, and hence there is prodig.
ious development in Southern industries.

Fargo is a great place for the boys, eSpe-
cially at the Sherman house.
Speaking of hotels and bills of fare,
you should have seen the Christmas bill
of fare furnished by the Grand hotel at
Fergus Falls. 1t was a dandy. The
Grand is one of the best hotels on the
road, and the landlords are sociable.
